For dunning outstanding rent receivables on the level of the or main contractual partner (customer).
The dunning procedure for the lease-out is based on the dunning program of the Financial Accounting (FI) application component.
You can make Real Estate-specific settings in Customizing for Financial Accounting as well as in Real Estate to control the dunning activities in rental accounting.
In particular, you can make settings under Dunning grouping by lease-outs and Special treatment for incoming payment methods in such a way that:
Documents or master records with the incoming payment method have to be dunned
Dunning blocks on lease-outs have to be observed
The main contractual partners of the lease-out (master tenant with customer account or subsidizer) and any other business partners (such as guarantors) have to be dunned
The dunning run does not update the highest dunning level of an open item in the customer of a lease-out, but places this information on the lease-out itself ( Example: Dunning Grouping of Lease-out ).
For further information, refer to the documentation of the Financial Accounting (FI) component on Dunning
